The long term evolution of 3GPP strives to achieve seamless mobility with the evolved-RAN (E-UTRAN) and inter-working with multiple access technologies over the common core network based on IP-all IP access network (AIPN). The arrival of mobility in the broadband systems such as 802.16e and 802.20 has propelled the industry trend towards ubiquity and seamless mobility irrespective of the access technology. SIP works as an application layer signaling protocol over the IMS infrastructure to facilitate convergence between the broadband providers and wireless carriers. This paper delivers the convergence model for inter-working and handovers using SIP over the IMS infrastructure. We propose the enhancement of SIP towards real-time conversational multimedia session transfer to realize the full potential of all IP access networks","PeriodicalId":275012,"journal":{"name":"2006 IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126010184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 802.11 security protocol, WEP, has not been designed by security experts. It results in a flawed protocol. The secret key shared between all 802.11 devices can be retrieved by attackers which are passively collecting data over the wireless network. TKIP, which solves this problem by periodically refreshing the keys between the access points and the wireless clients, has been standardized. But 802.11 ad-hoc networks remain unsafe.

To reduce the number of FWM components generated, unequally spaced channel allocation scheme is used. However, it results in increased bandwidth. To overcome this problem, modified periodically unequally spaced channel allocation (PUSCA) scheme can be used which results in fewer FWM components and efficient bandwidth utilization. To further reduce the number of FWM components, paired PUSCA method can be employed. In this paper, a comparative study of both the methods has been made. A figure of merit, defined as the ratio of increase in weighted average signal to FWM noise ratio to increase in bandwidth for a given scheme has been used as a metric of performance. Further, the performance of paired PUSCA scheme on G.653 fiber has been compared with equally spaced channel allocation (ESCA) scheme on G.652 fiber in which FWM is not a dominant non-linear effect.

The difficulties of integrating the available optical components, which are in all fiber form, in photonic integrated circuits are conquered by these couplers.
